In the preparation of this Year Book the original applications 
in the custody of the Registrar have been carefully transcribed 
and examined and it is hoped that the Roster of Members giving 
the services of the Ancestors under whom they claim is accurate. 

It was thought that a complete list of the members of the 
Convention which framed the first Constitution of the State of 
Maryland ; of the members of the several Councils of Safety of 
the Province of Maryland, and of the Delegates from Maryland 
to the Continental Congress, inasmuch as they have never been 
published in this form, would be both useful and interesting. 

For the portraits the Society is indebted to Henry F. Thomp- 
son, Esquire, and the Officers hope that those members who have 
portraits of their ancestors will give them for the next Year Book. 

The date upon the title page is the one hundred and eighteenth 
anniversary of the day on which the first General Assembly of 
Maryland convened. 

The Registrar gladly avails of this opportunity to acknowledge 
his obligations to William Mozart Hayden and William Hall 
Harris, Esquires, for the assistance they have so frequently and 
kindly afforded him in the performance of his duties.

CONSTITUTION. 



article i. 
Name of Society. 



The Society shall be known by the name, style and title of "Society 
of Sons of the Eevolution in the State of Maryland, of Baltimore 
City." 

ARTICLE n. 

Objects. 

The objects of the Society are social, educational and patriotic, and 
the Society is formed for the particular purpose of perpetuating the 
memory of the men who in military, naval and civil service of the 
Colonies and of the Continental Congress, by their acts or counsel, 
achieved the Independence of the Country ; and to further the proper 
celebration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, and 
prominent events connected with the War of the Revolution ; to 
collect and secure for preservation the manuscripts, records and other 
documents relating to that period ; to inspire the members of the 
Society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; and to promote 
the feeling of fellowship among its members. 

ARTICLE ni. 

Membebship. 

Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, shall be eli- 
gible to membership in this Society who is descended from an ancestor, 
2 11 



12 

as the propositus, who, either as a military, naval or marine officer, 
soldier, sailor, or marine, or official in the service of any one of 
the thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Govern- 
ment representing or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted 
in establishing American Independence during the War of the 
Revolution, between the 19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities 
commenced, and the 19th day of April, 1783, when they were 
ordered to cease. 

Provided: That when the claim of eligibility is based on the 
service of an ancestor in the " minute men " or " militia," it must 
be satisfactorily shown that such ancestor was actually called into 
the service of the State or United States, and performed garrison 
or field duty ; and 

Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the 
service of an ancestor as a " sailor " or " marine," it must in like 
manner be shown that such service was other than shore duty and 
regularly performed in the Continental Navy, or the Navy of one 
of the original thirteen States, or on an armed vessel, other than 
a merchant ship, which sailed under letters of marque and reprisal, 
and that such ancestor of the applicant was duly enrolled in the 
ship's company, either as an officer, seaman, or otherwise than 
as a passenger; and 

Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the 
service of an ancestor as an " official," such service must have been 
performed in the civil service of the United States, or of one of the 
thirteen original States, and must have been sufficiently important in 
character to have rendered the official specially liable to arrest and 
imprisonment, the same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, 
as well as liable to conviction of treason against the Government of 
Great Britain. 

In the construction of this Article, the Volunteer Aides de Camp 
of General Officers in Continental Service, who were duly announced 



13 

as such and who actually served in the field during a campaign, shall 
be comprehended as having performed qualifying service. 

The civil officials and military forces of the State of Vermont, 
during the "War of the Revolution, shall also be comprehended 
in the same manner as if they had belonged to one of the thirteen 
original States. 

No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying service for 
membership in this Society where such ancestor, after assisting in 
the cause of American Independence, shall have subsequently either 
adhered to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honorable record 
throughout the "War of the Revolution. 

No person shall be admitted as a member of this Society unless he 
be eligible under one of the provisions of this Article, and unless of 
good moral character and adjudged worthy of becoming a member. 

ARTICLE IV. 

Officeks. 

The officers of the Society shall be a President, a Vice-President, 
a Secretary, a Registrar, a Treasurer and a Chaplain, who shall be 
chosen by ballot from among the members thereof, annually to serve 
for the term of one year and until their successors are elected and 
qualified. 

ARTICLE V. 

Board of Managers. 

The Board of Managers of the Society shall be twelve in number, 
namely : the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary, the Regis- 
trar and the Treasurer, ex officio, and seven others who shall be chosen 
by ballot from among the members of the Society annually to serve 
for the term of one year and until their successors are elected and 
qualified. The Board shall have power to fill vacancies occurring in 
their own number.

the Board of Managers, who shall have full power to determine the 
qualifications of the applicant. 

Payment of the initiation fee and subscription to the declaration 
required by the Constitution of this Society shall be pre-requisites of

The Treasurer of the Society shall procure and issue the Insignia 
to the members, and shall keep a record of all issued by him. Such

eligible under the constitution. Three negative votes shall constitute 
a rejection of the applicant. 

They may, through the Secretary, call special meetings of the

The Chairman of the Board of Managers shall appoint annually 
three members thereof as a Committee on Admissions, whose duty 
it shall be to pass upon the qualifications of applicants for admission 
to the Society, and report to the Board of Managers. 

SECTION XIV. 
Expulsion and Suspension. 

The Board of Managers shall have power to expel any enrolled 
member of this Society who, by conduct unbecoming a gentleman 
and a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the 
Community in general or of this Society in particular, may render 
himself unworthy to continue a member, or who shall persistently 
transgress, or, without good excuse, wilfully neglect or fail in the 
performance of any obligation enjoined by the Constitution, By-Laws 
or any standing rule of this Society : Provided, that such member 
shall have received at least ten days' notice in writing of the com- 
plaint preferred against him, and of the time and place for hearing 
the same, and have been thereby afforded an opportunity to be heard 
in person. 

Whenever the cause of expulsion shall not have involved turpitude 
or moral unworthiness, any member thus expelled may, upon the 
unanimous recommendation of the Board of Managers, but not other- 
wise, be restored to membership by the Society at any meeting. 

The Board of Managers shall drop from the Roll the name of any 
enrolled member of the Society who shall be two years in arrear in 
the payment of dues, and who, on notice to pay the same, shall fail 
and neglect to do so within thirty days thereafter, and upon being 
thus dropped, his membership shall cease and determine ; but he may 



22 

be restored to membership at any time by the Board of Managers, 
on his application therefor, and upon his payment of all such arrears 
and of the annual dues from the date when he was dropped to the 
date of his restoration. The Board of Managers may also suspend 
any officer from the performance of his duties, for cause; which pro- 
ceeding must be reported to the Society and acted upon by it within 
thirty days, either by rescision of the suspension or removal of the 
suspended officer from office, or otherwise the suspension shall cease. 

SECTION XV. 

Resignation. 

No resignation or voluntary withdrawal from membership by any 
member enrolled in this Society shall become effective as a release 
from the obligations thereof, unless consented to and accepted by the 
Board of Managers. 

SECTION XVI. 

Disqualification. 

No person who may be enrolled as a member of this Society shall 
be permitted to continue in membership when the proofs of claim of 
qualification by descent shall be found to be defective and insuffi- 
cient to substantiate such claim, or not properly authenticated. The 
Society, or the Board of Managers, may, at any time after thirty 
days' notice to such person to properly substantiate or authenticate 
his claim, require the Secretary to erase his name from the list of 
members, and such person shall thereupon cease to be a member; 
Provided, lie shall have failed or neglected to comply satisfactorily 
with such notice. 

Where the Board of Managers shall direct the erasure of a person's 
name for a cause comprehended under this section, such person shall 
have a right of appeal to the next annual meeting of the Society ; 



23 

but he shall not be restored to membership unless by a vote of three- 
fourths of the members present on that occasion, or at a subsequent 
meeting to which the consideration of the appeal may have been 
specifically postponed. 

SECTION XVII. 
Service op Notices. 

It shall be the duty of every member to inform the Secretary, by 
written communication, of his place of residence, his post-office ad- 
dress, and of any change thereof. 

Service of any notice under the Constitution or By-Laws upon 
any member of the Society, addressed to him at his last recorded 
place of residence or post-office address, and forwarded by mail, shall 
be deemed sufficient service of such notice. 

SECTION XVIII. 
Nominating Committee. 

The Society may at the annual meeting choose a Nominating 
Committee of seven members to nominate officers and members 
of the Board of Managers for election at the succeeding annual 
meeting. 

In case the Society shall not choose such a Committee, the President 
shall, prior to every annual meeting, appoint such Nominating Com- 
mittee from among the members, exclusive of officers or members of 
the Board of Managers. The Nominating Committee shall select and 
nominate a ticket to fill the respective offices to be elected by ballot, 
which ticket shall be printed and distributed as the "regular ticket," 
by mailing one copy to each member of the Society at least five days 
prior to the ensuing annual election ; but in order to secure as far as 
may be in the Board of Managers stability iu procedure and familiarity 
with precedents in the business affairs of the Society, it shall be the 



24 

duty of every Nominating Committee so to arrange their recommend- 
ations as to provide for the renomination annually of at least nine of 
the members of the Board of Management, so that not more than 
one-fourth of the entire number shall be changed at any election. 

SECTION XIX. 

Alterations or Amendments. 

No alteration or amendment of the By-Laws of the Society shall 
be made unless notice thereof shall be duly given in writing, signed 
by the member proposing the same at a meeting of the Society, 
and unless the same shall be adopted at a subsequent meeting, 
held at least thirty days after such notice by a vote of two-thirds 
of the members present. 

SECTION XX. 

Delegates to the General Society. 

Delegates to the General Society shall be chosen by the members of 
this Society at its meeting next preceding that of the General Society ; 
and, failing such choice, shall be selected by the Board of Managers.

GEORGE HUNTINGTON WILLIAMS. 



The death of Mr. Williams occurred on July 12, 1894, at Utica, in the State of 
New York. The place of his death was also the place of his birth. He was born 
in Utica on January 28, 1856. 

He was elected a member of this Society on November 29, 1893, by virtue of 
descent from George Doolittle, who after serving temporarily with Connecticut 
Troops in 1775 and 1777, enlisted in 1778 in the Connecticut Line, and served until 
the close of the War of the Revolution in the 6th and 4th Regiments — in the latter 
of which he held the position of Sergeant. He served in battles at New York, 
Long Island, White Plains, and Stony Point. 

Mr. Williams was graduated at Amherst College in 1878. The following year he 
went to Germany where he remained for more than three years, pursuing courses 
of study in his chosen subject, geology, at Gottingen and Heidelberg. He also 
travelled in South-eastern Europe, studying geological formations. Returning to 
this country in 1882, with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, conferred upon him 
by the University of Heidelberg, he was, in 1S83, appointed to a Fellowship in the 
Johns Hopkins University; from that position he passed successively to those of 
Associate, and Associate Professor, and finally, in 1892, became Professor of Inorganic 
Geology in the same University. 

Mr. Williams' habit of mind was pre-eminently scientific, and he was not only 
a well trained and thoroughly equipped scholar, but also an enthusiast in the de- 
partment of science to which he was devoted. 

The organization of the Department of Geology in the Johns Hopkins University 
was entrusted to him, and under his guidance it soon became one of the most useful 
and important in the University. He gathered about him a group of advanced and 
always interested students, who were warmly attached to him, and whom he inspired 
with his own zeal for investigation and precision in scientific methods. Although 
busily occupied in the classroom and the laboratory, his activity did not stop there. 
He was closely connected with the United States Geological Survey, and made both 
careful and extensive studies of Maryland geology. He made important investi- 
gations of the Cortlandt Series of the Hudson, and adjacent formations, and in 1884 
and 1885 made observations upon the Greenstone schists in portions of Michigan.

During the summer of 1888, he was engaged, with a party of fellow scientists, in- 
cluding his former instructor, Professor Rosenbusch of Heidelberg, upon a geological 
survey in portions of Norway. 

The results of Professor Williams' investigations have appeared in the publications 
of the United States Geological Survey, and also in the pages of numerous scientific 
journals. Possessing a ready pen, and a faculty of luminous expression, he was a 
frequent contributor to the literature of geology both in this country and in Europe. 
In recognition of his contributions to the advancement of science, he was honored 
with membership in many scientific societies both at home and abroad. He was a 
Corresponding Member of the Geological Society of London, and of the French 
Mineralogical Society, and one of the Vice-Presidents of the Geological Society of 
America. He was one of the Judges of Award in the Department of Mines and 
Mining at the World's Fair in Chicago. 

He was profoundly interested in promoting the welfare of this his adopted State, 
and was Chairman of the Committee to which was entrusted by the World's Fair 
Commissioners of Maryland, the preparation for the Columbian Exposition of a 
volume in relation to the resources of the State. To this volume he was himself a 
most valuable contributor, the portions upon the geology and mineral resources of 
the State, and the admirable geological maps, being his work. 

Into all his personal relations Mr. Williams carried the same sincerity that was 
manifested in his scientific work, and which was a most conspicuous characteristic 
of the man. He had a bright and sanguine disposition, such as it is good to meet, 
and was both an agreeable companion and a true friend. In him his students found 
both teacher and friend, and between him and them there was formed a close bond 
of sympathy which remained unbroken after the relations of teacher and pupil 
had ceased. 

After the close of the academic year in June, 1894, with an energy which far 
outran his physical strength which was never great, he went out with a party of 
students to pursue geological investigations in the western part of Maryland. He 
was shortly afterwards seized with typhoid fever, caused, it was supposed, by drink- 
ing the water from a contaminated well, while on this expedition ; and one month 
later, this life already so full of achievement and apparently so much more full of 
promise, succumbed to that fatal disease. 



EDWARD GRAHAM DAVES. 



Mr. Daves was born in New Berne, North Carolina, March 31, 1833. He died in 
Boston, after a few days illness, on August 1st, 1894. He was one of the original 
members of this Society, in the formation of which he took a dee]) and active 
interest. He was second in descent from Captain John Daves, who after serving 
successively as Quarter-Master, Ensign and Lieutenant in the 2d Continental 
Regiment, North Carolina Troops, was in 1781 commissioned Captain in the 3d 



53 

Regiment, in which he served until the close of the War of the Revolution ; and 
fourth in descent from William Eaton, who after serving as a member of the Com- 
mittee of Safety of the Halifax District of North Carolina in 1775, was iu 1776 made 
Lieutenant-Colonel, and afterwards Colonel, of the Northampton County Militia. 

Mr. Daves entered Harvard College in 1850, and received the degree of Bachelor 
of Arts in 1854, and that of Bachelor of Laws in 1856. Shortly afterwards he came 
to Baltimore, and reading law in the office of Messrs. Brown & Brune, was admitted 
to the Bar. During the same year (1S56) he was appointed Professor of Greek in 
Trinity College, Hartford, where he remained five years, receiving from that College 
in 1857 the honorary degree of Master of Arts, which degree he also received the 
same year, in course, from his Alma Mater, Harvard College. 

In 1861 Mr. Daves went to Europe, and after attending lectures at the Uni- 
versity of Bonn, established and conducted a 6chool for American boys at Vevay in 
Switzerland. 

In 1871 he returned to this country, and shortly thereafter established his resi- 
dence in Baltimore and devoted himself to teaching History and English Literature. 
He conducted classes in these branches in several private schools, and so highly was 
he esteemed as a teacher, that a number of classes were formed among those whom 
he had taught during their school days, and who wished to continue their studies, in 
maturer years, under his direction. To an intimate knowledge of English Litera- 
ture, he added a keen appreciation of the beautiful in thought and expression, and 
a highly developed critical faculty. He possessed above all things, the gift of 
teaching, and was always able to awaken the interest of those whom he taught, and 
impart to them some degree of his own unfailing enthusiasm. An untiring student 
himself, during the last twenty years of his life, while from year to year he led 
successive classes over practically the same fields of reading and study, he never 
allowed himself to drop into the easy habit of merely repeating a well-worn syllabus 
of lectures, but was ever ready and alert with new and suggestive thoughts and 
criticisms. The high praise has been awarded him, by those best competent to 
know and judge, that as a student he continued to develop to the very end of his life, 
and that as a teacher his last year was his best. 

During the last few years of his life, he took much interest in matters connected 
with the Colonial and Revolutionary history of this country, an interest which was 
evinced in many ways. He was active in the organization of an association for the 
purchase and suitable preservation of Roanoke Island, the site of Sir Walter Raleigh's 
first settlement in Virginia, but now a part of North Carolina ; and he was chiefly 
instrumental in securing, with the aid of members of the Maryland Historical 
Society, the erection of a monument in commemoration of the Maryland Soldiers 
who fell at the Battle of Guilford Court House. At the dedication of that monu- 
ment, he delivered a most interesting address, which was afterwards read with some 
modifications, rendered necessary by change of time and place, before the Maryland 
Historical Society, and published by that Society. 

As has been already mentioned, Mr. Daves took an active interest in the formation 
of the Maryland Society of the Sons of the Revolution, and was one of its original 
members. He was also a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, and it may be 
added, the only Maryland member of that Society who took part in the formation 



54 

of this Society. He was one of the delegates from this Society to the meetings of 
the General Society of the Sons of the Revolution. 

Mr. Daves was a man of unfailing courtesy of manner and genuine kindness of 
heart. He was at the same time retiring in his disposition, and it is not unlikely 
that his many admirable qualities are in fact best known only to those who were his 
pupils, and who owe to him the awakening and development in them of a taste for, 
and appreciation of, all that is best in literature. 



JAMES A. BUCHANAN. 



Mr. Buchanan was born in Baltimore, December 28th, 1828 ; he died suddenly, of 
heart failure, on January 24th, 1S95, at his late home, on Staten Island, New York. 

Mr. Buchanan was one of the original members of this Society, and one of its 
delegates to the General Society of the Sons of the Revolution. Although New 
York had been the place of his residence for the last ten years, he maintained his 
interest in and identity with this city, the place of his birth, and sought membership 
in the Society of the Sons of the Revolution through the organization formed in his 
native State. He was third in descent from William Buchanan, who was a member 
of the Committee of Safety of Baltimore Town, 1774-6 ; member of the Maryland 
Provincial Council, 1774-5 ; Captain, and afterwards Colonel, of the Baltimore 
Battalion of Militia in 1776; Deputy Commissary-General, and then Commissary- 
General, for the purchase of supplies for the Continental Army, in 1777. 

Mr. Buchanan read law in the office of Messrs. Brown & Brune, and was admitted 
to the Bar in 1852. In 1858 he removed to Davenport, Iowa, where he engaged in 
the practice of his profession, and also in the editing of one of the leading western 
Democratic papers of that time. He afterwards went to St. Louis and practised law 
in that city. In 1864 he returned to Baltimore and resumed the practice of law 
in his native city. In 1869 he became of Counsel to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 
and was connected with the legal department of the Company until January, 1885, 
when Mr. John King, Jr., formerly one of the Vice-Presidents of the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad, having been elected President of the Erie Railway, he invited Mr. 
Buchanan to come to New York and accept the position of General Counsel for that 
Company. From that time New York was the place of his residence. 

Mr. Buchanan's energies were chiefly devoted to the practice of his profession. 
He was recognized as a wise and experienced Counsellor, unfailingly faithful and 
diligent in the care of the interests committed to his charge. He was noted for the 
painstaking care with which he studied the cases in which he was engaged, and 
prepared them for trial. 

He held public place but twice. In his younger days he was assistant to the late 
Hon. C. J. M. Gwinn, when the latter was State's Attorney, — or rather, as the office 
was then called, Assistant Attorney-General, — for Baltimore; and later, in the year 
1876, he was appointed by Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore, to the office of City Coun- 
sellor, which position he held for two years. 



55 

In social life Mr. Buchanan was known as a man of warm and generous nature, 
and unwavering in his friendships. Of frank and genial manners, lie attracted men 
to him, and easily made friends. By those who had the privilege of his intimate 
acquaintance, he is remembered with warm affection as a most valued companion, 
always abounding in good humor, and an admirable teller of good stories. His 
memory, which was remarkable, supplied him with many entertaining reminiscences 
of the older generation of lawyers who adorned and made famous the Maryland Bar. 
But beyond these attractive social qualities, Mr. Buchanan's character was specially 
distinguished for the warmth, sincerity, and tenacity of his friendships. Through 
good fortune or ill fortune his friendship never wavered, and no one was ever more 
ready than he to do a kindness, or to stretch out a helping hand. 

He was a good lawyer, and a genial companion; but above all things a true and 
faithful friend.

CONVENTION OF AUGUST 14 TO 
NOVEMBER 11, 1776. 



The Delegates to this Convention were elected by the people on 
August 1, 1776, in pursuance of the following resolution, passed on 
July 3, by the Convention of June 21 to July 6, 1776 : "Resolved, 
That a new Convention be elected for the express purpose of forming 
a new Government by the authority of the People only, and enacting 
and ordering all things for the preservation, safety, and general weal 
of this Colony." 

The Convention met on August 14 and sat until September 17, 
when it adjourned until September 30, but for want of a quorum the 
sessions were not resumed until October 2. From that day until 
November 11, when it adjourned, the Convention met regularly. 

On August 27, Charles Carroll, Barrister, and Samuel Chase, two 
members of the "Committee to prepare a Declaration and Charter of 
Rights, and a form of Government for this State," resigned their 
seats as Delegates because they had received " instructions from their 
constituents enjoining them, in framing of a Government for this 
State, implicitly to adhere to points in their opinion incompatible 
witli good government and the puhlick peace and happiness," and on 
the same day Mr. Plater reported from that Committee the "Decla- 
ration and Charter of Rights," and on September 10 he reported the 
" Constitution and form of Government." 

Before the adjournment on September 17, printed copies of the 
Declaration and Constitution were ordered to be sent to each County 
" for the consideration of the people at large," and the Convention, 
after reassembling, having considered the same by paragraphs and 
making many changes, adopted the Declaration on November 3 and 
the Constitution on November 8. Neither of these documents was 
submitted to the people for their approval, but went into force by 
virtue of their own provisions.

DELEGATES FROM MARYLAND TO THE 
CONTINENTAL CONGRESS 

from June 22d, 1774, until the assembling of Congress under 
the present Constitution in 1789. 



The Delegates from Maryland to the Continental Congress were 
elected by the several Conventions, beginning with the one of June 
22d, 1774, until the State government was formed, and after that 
date by the joint ballot of the Senate and House of Delegates. 

It was found impossible to make a complete list of those who at- 
tended in Congress and of those who did not, and therefore nothing 
more has been attempted than to designate (by an asterisk) those 
Delegates of whom it can be said with certainty that they attended. 

The names are printed in the order iu which they appear in the 
Journals of the Convention and General Assembly.
